Abstract;A new high strength, heat resistant KHRT copper alloy tube has been developed by the copper tube research section at Hatano Plant. The tube is the best for use in air conditioner units operated with high pressure refrigerant R410A. KHRT has excellent heat resistance properties and it well suited to heat hand brazing at the time of air conditioner assembling. It also has almost the same workability and corrosion resistance as the phosphorus deoxidized copper tubes commonly used in air conditioners. (author abst.)
